Repeater drum
Well supported
The lead drum of the Nyabinghi ensemble — the smallest and highest of the three, and the improviser: over the bass drum's foundation and the funde's steady heartbeat, the repeater speaks, accents and answers. Count Ossie was its most influential master; its syncopations echo through reggae drumming.
